For those new to the practice\, Acroyoga is a blend of three interconnecting practices; acrobatics to train strength\, endurance and alignment\, yoga for flexibility of mind and body\, and therapeutic flying and thai massage to manage our recovery and integration Acroyoga acknowledges that through play we are building healthy and vibrant individuals\, relationships and communities. Essential for our social\, emotional\, cognitive\, and physical development\, play also cultivates our imagination\, creativity and problem-solving abilities\, helping us to see problems in a new light and come up with creative solutions. \nZoe Braithwaite of YogaJoy will be care taking this playground\, along with other experienced acroyoga practitioners including Abigail Portwin\, Russ Demuth\, Chase Erbacher and Justin Wolf Heart.
